Janice Day

Janice Day steps onto a rattling lake steamer, leaving behind the familiar streets of Greensboro for the wide‑open horizons of Poketown. As the vessel chugs through mist‑kissed waters, she watches the landscape roll by, her curiosity sparking with every creak of the old sidewheel and every glance at the few passengers around her. A brief, lively exchange with a sharp‑tongued, shawl‑clad lady on deck hints at the mix of humor and heart that will color Janice’s journey.

Soon Janice finds herself navigating a world where trains thrum through narrow valleys, town gossip swirls around a quirky school, and the promise of new friendships beckons from every corner. Her independent spirit and quick mind draw her into small‑town adventures—from a lost echo to a heartfelt love letter—while she keeps her father’s memory close. Listeners will follow Janice as she discovers that stepping beyond familiar roads can be both challenging and wonderfully rewarding.
